Hollywood Walk of Fame is a sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street
in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA, that serves as an entertainment
hall of fame. Designed by Southern Californian artist Oliver Weismuller, who
was hired by the city in 1953 to give Hollywood a "face lift", the
Hollywood Walk of Fame represented one of a number of improvements the city
undertook at the time. It is embedded with more than 2,000 five-pointed stars
featuring the names of not only human celebrities but also fictional characters
honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for their contributions to the
entertainment industry.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame runs west on Hollywood Boulevard from Gower Avenue
to La Brea Avenue and north to south on Vine Street between Yucca Street and
Sunset Boulevard. The Walk of Fame is nearly a three-and-a-half-(3 1/2)-mile
(5.6km) round-trip walk.
In July 2008, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that the Walk of Fame
will undergo a $4.2-million face-lift, another reason to come visit Hollywood.
Seven hundred seventy-eight stars will have to be replaced because of the wear
and tear that they have undergone since they were first laid down.
